Patrick Roberts on the Celtic bond with Kieran Tierney as he gushes over Parkhead 'privilege'

Patrick Roberts admits it was a 'privilege' to play for Celtic as he reflected back on his time in Glasgow.

The former Manchester City starlet was a hugely popular figure among the Parkhead fanbase after his first loan spell at Celtic proved fruitful under Ronny Deila before more success with Brendan Rodgers. Roberts found his second loan spell slightly tougher with injuries, but still dazzled on the wing for the double treble winning champions. The 26-year-old is now hitting top form with Sunderland after a few rocky loan spells.

And one man who took to the winger as much as the Hoops fans was boyhood supporter Kieran Tierney - with the two striking up a real bond in Glasgow. Roberts admits they got on like a house on fire and that there were other prominent Parkhead figures that helped him grow.
